Sarah Jane harrison was born in Williamstown a suburb of Melbourne to John Harrison b 1814 and Mary White b to William White and Mary Munday. I think she was the youngest of 3 children. She had a sister Elizabeth Martha b 1850 and possibly a brother Richard b 1846. I am trying to find any other siblings. and further info on her parents Val

Yes that is her and her parents. What I want to find is her grandparents William White and Mary Munday, and her fathers parents Possibly Richard Harrison and Ann Uk. He could be one of 4 children Val

Hi Heather, Thanks for that info but unfortunatly it is not my gr grandmother. My Sarah Jane was b in Williamstown, Melb and d by falling from a tram and breaking her hip in Geelong and is buried here in Geelong. She married William John Prowse b London and died in Talbot. What I hoped was that someone could tell me about her father (John Harrison ) parents.
Thanks again Val (Geelong)
